The newly developed "3-D-V" array, a fully-digital 3-D, volumetric towed array. This system is undergoing small boat field tests. Tom Norris recently gave a presentation of progress on this effort at the recent Effects of Sound in the Ocean on Marine Mammals (ESOMM) meeting in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Founder and Chief Scientist Tom Norris gave a talk at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for the American Cetacean Society (San Diego Chapter) about applying new passive acoustic technologies to issues in conservation biology. Click here to view the talk slides

SonarPoint is a newly developed system of affordable, modular autonomous recorders that are designed for localization and tracking marine mammals from their vocalizations. This system was developed with ONR funding and we were recently issued a follow-on award to conduct long-term field tests of the seafloor array configuration.
